Wow, I'm dyslexic today. I read "how the economy fares AFTER their 4 or 8 years in office" as "how the economy fares AFTER 4 or 8 years from their office." My bad! I'll try to read more clearly next time. I really have heard quite a few people espouse the belief that I had incorrectly mistaken for your actual point.
Claiming that 4 or 8 years is the magic amount of time that all economic policy effects lag behind their enactments is every bit is flawed as direct correlation.
In truth, the economy *can* fluctuate wildly based on day to day activity. If Wall Street doesn't like who is in power, Wall Street will often respond immediately.
But I agree with your larger point; evaluating economic policy needs to be based upon sound economic analysis. Good luck getting that from our childish politicians and kneejerk media outlets:(
This comment is so wrong. When the AMT kicks in, your available deductions reduces dramatically. Virtually no deductions will move the needle for your effective tax rate at that point.
Rich people pay fewer taxes because they can stop taking salaries and pay 15% on capital gains. They can also hide money in places that aren't taxable.
Reading the summary, it's clear the problem is that people are confusing what it means to take an iterative approach to development.
Production code is production code, and they should never have stopped shipping production code. The amount of scrutiny/rigor applied to code shipped in an agile environment should not decrease vs. waterfall. You're just shipping smaller chunks a lot more frequently.
When the smartcard is given a public/private key pair, it registers the public key with a basic centralized keystore. Then the ssh server starts refusing key authentication with any client not trying to authenticate against one of the public keys generated by the smartcard setup process.
Due to my moderation threshold missing the comment you were replying to, I had assumed that you were one of those fundie-athiests bringing up religion out of nowhere just to let everyone know how stupid you thought religion was.
But then I read the comment you were replying to and then yours made total sense.
Now we all know it picks on Arabs who pay cash all the bad guys have to do is legally change their name from Mohammed to Hank, apply for a bank card, and order the standard in-flight meal.
So you assume the bad guys have a first name of Mohammed?:)
So what you're really saying is something more like, "you know, I've met Muslims that weren't terrorists, but at the same time, it seems like all terrorists who want to destroy the US happen to be Muslim."
Most methodologies work well in a "development team where everyone is technically solid and works well with others."
Regular 2-4 week iterations, mandatory automated testing, replacing boring waterfall meetings with short 10 minute scrums, and keeping the stakeholders involved at all times are things that every solid developer should welcome.
That's about as far in to "Capital A" Agile I've ever cared to go. Any more than that and we're too focused on process, IMO.
I didn't claim to believe in God. Also, read what I wrote, which you quoted, again:
"The common underpinning of faith does not imply that other religions share the institutionalized, wholesale abuse and corruption committed by the Church of Scientology."
Now read it in the context of the post I was replying to. Do you really think I was trying to excuse or ignore the injustices of other religions? I was simply pointing out my problem with extrapolating the transgressions of the CoS to religion as a whole.
"Do it now or take your lying nonsense and stick it where the sun never shines."
Why did you choose to act like such an asshole and end your post with this?
What's with the need for skeptics to equate all religion with Scientology in every article about the CoS?
The common underpinning of faith does not imply that other religions share the institutionalized, wholesale abuse and corruption committed by the Church of Scientology. If an atheist cannot see the stark differences in nature and degree, then he is blinded by a dogmatic opposition towards faith.
This is horse shit. I've worked with plenty of religious folks that are great at solving problems. Your line of thinking simply promotes the kind of discrimination and simple minded thinking that makes religious zealots so frustrating in the first place.

It's not that he doesn't know what the term "accident" means, it was more an incorrect understanding of its' meaning.

All this means test, test, test, the entire time.
Thanks for letting us know you watched An Inconvenient Truth.
Tolkein? Is that you?
Whups, lol, year fail.
I hear this fallacy a lot.
When I work from home, I'm still pairing up with another developer over skype/tmux, and I am super productive doing it.
It's 2012, there's no reason remote working should incur a penalty in collaboration.
Why does everyone wonder why locally produced food costs so much, instead of wondering why the over processed megacorp garbage is so cheap?
Pointers are pretty essential to a kernel.
Does that quote imply Doug Stanhope believes in God and free will?

I don't buy this "the world needs people like RMS" B.S.
Either his ideas are correct, in which case we should adopt them, or they aren't, in which case we shouldn't.

Wow, dude. Good luck with that jihad of yours.

Sounds like a horrible problem to have.

If you were black, then you would have used the n-word, instead of simply referring to it. So that tells me you're as white as I am.
